Be kind to yourself: How self-compassion can improve your resilience-
Self-compassion means accepting yourself as the imperfect person that you are. It means being kinder to yourself and, as a result, being kinder and more compassionate toward others.

Self-compassion means accepting yourself as the imperfect person that you are. When you embrace the idea that you'll never be perfect, you can accept that mistakes are an important part of your life's journey that contributes to who you are. Being kinder to yourself also boosts your resilience and makes you kinder and more compassionate toward others.

The average adult brain creates 10's of thousands of thoughts each day. If you could pay attention to all of them, what would they say? Chances are your brain doesn't tell you how fantastic you look in those jeans, how brilliant your presentation was or what an amazing parent you are — that's not how your brain is designed. The brain is designed to seek out a threat, keep you safe from danger and protect you. As a result, your brain focuses on the negative:
  • It seeks out what's wrong instead of what's right.
  • It holds on to negative events and feelings, more than positive ones.
  • It tells you that if you were just this or just that if you could try a little harder, then things would be better.
How can you counteract this natural tendency toward the negative? One answer is self-compassion. This takes intention and effort.
  • Be kind in the face of your own suffering. Being nice to yourself is especially important when you are suffering, feeling inadequate or are disappointed in yourself. Some people believe that negative self-talk — such as telling yourself, "you are such a loser" — will somehow motivate them to do better next time. In fact, it does just the opposite. Talking to yourself in a positive way during difficult times can make you more resilient and better able to tackle new goals instead of wallowing in your failures.
  • Acknowledge your humanity. Recognize and accept that everyone suffers — it's a part of the shared experience of life and of being human. When you understand this, you have less of a tendency to think that you are the only one who faces difficult times. Adopting this viewpoint will help you recognize that you're not alone in your suffering. This will open you up to showing compassion toward others.
  • Practice mindfulness. Notice your own suffering. In today's world, it's easy to be a master of distraction, turning to television, music, cellphones, alcohol or drugs to quiet any internal suffering. However, suffering doesn't leave when you put a mask on it or stuff it down beyond your awareness. Being mindful and acknowledging your struggles — without judgment — allows you to find compassion for yourself.

Discipline weighs ounces,
regret weighs tons.

"It’s all right letting yourself go,
as long as you can get yourself back."
